Two freight trains of the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad are stopped on the tracks at the Hancock Station in Chaffee County, Colorado. Several men stand in front of the westbound double-header in the center midground. The lead engine is D.S.P.& P. #36, a Brooks 2-6-0, followed by a Baldwin consolidation of the 50-57 series. The last few cars and the caboose of the eastbound train are in the foreground and midground; the car behind the men is refrigerated. Scene also includes log buildings with false wood fronts, a meat market, a saloon, and a train depot.
